This day I call heaven and earth as
witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and
curses. Now choose life, so that you and
your children may live.
Death haunts social interaction when God is
shunned. It arises from the human drive
to reach the least common denominator, only now beyond the presence of
God. Behavior turns ghastly as the death
wish reigns unbounded. Mankind is then washed
in the blood of the jackal contending with earnest passion until vitality is spent. The smearing of each other’s blood becomes the
last supper of this least common denominator observance. Darkness
mercifully descends to hide from sight the free reign of sin, the fruition of
misguided liberty. The light of God transforms
from evil to good the human quest for the least common denominator. It converts a reductive, divisive drive for
death and alienation into a drive for life and communion. This redeeming drive for the least common
denominator supplants death games with participation in the joint worship of
God and the healing quest for unity in love.
